Thrilling Puzzle Story?

At last! The Blonde in Red gets a chance to play the villainess… although more importantly, I think the unanswered $50 question is “who was in charge of choosing props and costuming for this cover scene?”

Yeah, this was a borderline case. I figured the weird lighting of the scene was enough to make a plausible case for her hair being close enough to qualify at least as a “strawberry blonde in a red dress”.
